Insect moulting hormones -the phytoecdysones One of the most remarkable discoveries in recent years has been the finding that certain plants contain relatively large amounts of 0-ecdysone (I) the material that is secreted by the insect's endocrine system and initiates the moults through which ...

Bisphenol A (BPA), a ubiquitous EDC, is the major component of polycarbonate plastics. It is one of the first compounds identified as endocrine disruptor, which can disrupt the endocrine system and produce effects very similar to MetS (Pérez-Bermejo et al.2021). It is used in the manufactur...
When the glands in the endocrine system receive signals that something in the body is abnormal, they excrete hormones, which in turn send messages to other cells in the body. Learn about hormones, their activation, their transport, target cells, and secondary messengers. Related to this Questi...
Chemical digestion is one of the main functions of the digestive system and is carried out with the help of numerous digestive enzymes. What organ produces brush border enzymes? What is the function of brush border enzymes? The digesti...
(lubricating oil additives, laundry and dish detergents, emulsifiers …), are known EDC which are defined as environmental compounds that produce human adverse effects by disrupting the endocrine system. A study of the effects on proliferation and metastasis of MCF-7 human BC cells expressing ...
As ALB is normally secreted by the liver without post-translational modifications it would be expected to resolve to a single spot in 2D gels, however in our 2D-WB analysis ALB resolved to at least eight spots, of similar size but of different pI (Fig. 3A). It should be noted that ...
The transforming growth factor beta(TGFβ) superfamily ofsecreted signaling molecules and their cognate receptors regulatecell fate and behaviors relevant to many developmental and diseaseprocesses. Disruption of TGFβ signaling during embryonic developmentcan, for example, affect morphogenesis and differentiati...
One of a class of small, cysteine-rich proteins that are secreted by filamentous fungi and that self-assemble at hydrophilic–hydrophobic interfaces into an amphipathic membrane. Exoenzyme An enzyme that is secreted by a cell and that is usually used for breaking up large molecules that would oth...
Extracellular enzymes are secreted by the bacteria and permeate through the agar plastic, where they break down and become water-soluble. This process is used to degrade polymers such as polyhydroxy butyrate (PHB), polypropiolactone (PPL), and polycaprolactone (PCL). 7. Current MNPs removal ...
